Readynas 102 - SMB/AFP Connection Failed
Hello all,
I am having an issue connecting to my NAS via Finder using either AFP (has never worked) or, now, SMB.
I created a new folder for the NAS in order to house an iTunes library & since creating the folder I have been unable to access the NAS via Finder.
I'm really not sure what has happened having failed to change anything of significance in creating the aforementioned folder & I was using the Finder-Connect To Server option until this evening when my mac has determined that it cannot connect to the NAS because 'share does not exist on the server'.
Most peculiar & I must admit to being unable to resolve this issue despite its apparent simplicity.
Any assistance would be appreciated greatly.

What firmware is the NAS running?
Can you connect to any shares? Or is the new itunes one the only problem?
It's running the latest firmware I believe (6.5.1), it certainly suggests that the firmware is up to date when I checked.
It's odd, I can't connect through Finder but I'm using XLD to convert my music file format (FLAC to AIFF) & if I go into the NAS through XLD it is fine.
I can't connect to any shares at all.

That is odd.
There have been a lot of folks (using Windows PCs) who've had similar issues when accessing shares. Using a local NAS account credential seems to resolve it.
I'm not a mac user, so I can't give specifics. But if there's a way in Finder to use the NAS IP address, specifing "admin" as the username with the NAS admin password, I suggest you try it.
